Thanks XS,

I think i'll probably go for fast learning, after all, i can always replace the springs later on.

I only recommend upsizing if you're within 2kg of the borderline... for example if you're right at 150 lbs (68kg) go with the 7090s.  It will take some time to master the jumps but you won't be bottoming out.  If you were 145lbs, you would be better off learning with the the 5070s as the stiffer springs would be too hard to compress.  As XS Says, if you find yourself going big and bottoming out you can always upgrade the springs, which wear out eventually anyways.

hi my son is 9 and weighs about 5 stone, he wants fly jumpers for christmas,could anyone advise me on what would be the best jumpers to purchase for him,he is quite atheletic and has a trampoline that he is never off if that makes adifferencewould be grateful for any help thanks

A quick note on quality, I myself own the Poweriser Kids F60 and I weigh about 97 pounds I am an adult at 35 years old and about 5 foot 4 inches, the reason for me to have or use Kids stilts is first off I now sell the stilts, and wanted a set to let other try , and I also was wondering about how well they are made, I found after 6 months of tryouts and I have used the Kids set myself and at my weight I can bottom the hard which is when you either are too heavy or to strong for the springs and can push them to the max they will go, Good news is the stilts are well made and I have yet to break a spring on the set I own, I at one time even had a buddy of mine who wanted to try them just to see how they were, also  an adult ((NOT Recommended)) he was almost 1 and a half the limit and weighed in at 180 pounds he jumped on them bottomed very hard and nothing broke they held up fine.

I am also too tall for them but can safely "test them due to my low weight" for a short time that is.

Being Athletic and used to a trampoline he would be best on the F40 set I would think, again like they said unless he is growing and gain weight fast I never had such luck yet Smiley .

One idea is to check on the seller see if there is a replacement for one year as with:
www.dcpowerstilts.com

I thought I would tell everyone this as not to many people ask now what if this breaks do we buy new?
Hope this helps as I just made a few suggestions, and show what I myself had tested to be true.
Just tell them Larry sent ya, lol.
